Spencer Ware has been diagnosed with a torn PCL and LCL in his right knee and is out for the season.

He'll undergo surgery and faces a long, grueling rehab. This is more significant than ACL and MCL damage, so Ware could be facing long odds of being ready in time for Week 1 of next season. Turning 26 in November, Ware is under contract for a modest $1.45 million in 2018, the final year of his deal. Kareem Hunt, Charcandrick West, and C.J. Spiller will make up the Chiefs' backfield.

Spencer Ware has been diagnosed with a torn PCL and will likely need season-ending surgery.

Chiefs head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder announced the diagnosis on Sunday. Ware is also dealing with damage to his LCL. He'll get a second opinion, but in all likelihood, Ware will go under the knife. Third-round rookie Kareem Hunt will now proceed as the team's unquestioned workhorse and could finish the year in the RB1 conversation if all goes right. Aug 27 - 11:40 AM

Per RapSheet, initial tests were "inconclusive" as to the extent of Ware's injury, however, and all the Chiefs know is that he "will miss time." Previous reports suggested Ware could miss up to two months. Ware should be scratched off fantasy draft cheatsheets. Kareem Hunt is headed for feature back work. Aug 26 - 8:10 PM

Ware avoided ACL damage, but he is still looking at a multi-week absence. His status for the season opener is in doubt. Ware was already facing competition for carries before going down and isn't a lock to start when he returns. Coach Andy Reid confirmed Kareem Hunt will be Kansas City's new featured back.

It is a bit of a surprise, but Wilson was added back to the injury report as questionable on Saturday. Perhaps he suffered a setback after limited practices on Thursday and Friday. With Chris Conley (Achilles') on injured reserve, the Chiefs are thin at receiver.
